CARACCAS EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE, MAY 7, 1818. ‘ DI , PATCH ToTHR CAPTAIN-GENPRAL. " I have the greatest satisfaction in commu nicating to your 14..xielletwy, that on the 2d inst., lirigAdicr oflk NIIGtIEL de la Tottaa writes me from Co.- de the following, viz.,:—. "At day-break this morning, I set out for this place,where I presumed I might meet the enemy. I marched six leagues to Comorneo, where I intended to rest, but the vanguard of the rebel Pacz, joined with Rangel, Romero, and Cuerta,was marching upon San Carlos. I repulsed in number about 300 men, and continued my movement, determined to give battle whenever occasion should present itself ; and this took place lit a quarter of a league from Cogede, eleven leagues from my former position at San Carlos. The enemy's force amounted to one thousand five hundred horse, and 9. battalions of infantry, in number from 6 to 800 men.—The ground was an immense plain. I attached with the infantry in a body, and the cavalry on both flanlcs and rear, and soon conquered. • The infantry received us kneeling on the ground, with their arms pre sented, until within half-pistol shot ; but in a short time their numerous cavalry abandoned them, and they were etim pletely routed by our cavalry, who followed up the enemy, and the victory was decided in all directions, for the King our Lord. The total loss of the Insurgents exceeds 1000 men. Ours may amount to 100 killed and wounded ; but time will not permit me to give the details of this brilliant event. I defer until to-morrow to give the exact particulars of this happy day, Anniversary of the glorious Revolution of the nation to which we belOng. " I have forwarded this for your satisfaction and the loyal inha'Jitants of Caraccas, and have to observe, that the pri soners say that the Insurgent Chief Paez was shot through the belly. The brave General Don Miguel de Torre from the beginning of the action was wounded, but never gave lap the command. Colonel Pedro Gonzalez Villa, and several Officers of inferior rank, were wounded also. " PABLO MORILLO. " Head-parleys at Palencia, ilay 4, 1813." FOR THE SUN. OF POLITICAL SOCIETY. POSTSCRIPT. Having explained the cause of government by a few over many, who could not govern them selves, it seems that in the first state of things they employed their power in malting laws, and appointing officers to execute them, which ,formed a Facet democracy, and when in the hands of selected men, their heirs or successors, it was an oligarchy, but when of one person only, it was a monarchy. The power of each is supreme and fiduciary. While Government subsists, it so con tinues ; but when, if ever, dissolved, the trust of the people returns to them of course. I t s de viations may be resisted, hot it cannot be lawful to overturn it, nor is it the attempt of any party, or ever has been since its first rise, to do so, and form a new one. The parties nutlet Charles I. were ab , olute factions, as Puritans and Church men. The zeal of the turner against the en croachtnents of prerogative upon liberty was laudable, but the servility ot the latter as Cour tiers was odious. After the murder of the King, the Puritans oppressed their adversaries, as they had been by the Churchmen and Royalists, who then turned advocates for the people. So, tinder Charles 11. the Courtiers or Cavaliers having overcome the Pnritans, were soon after called Tories, who again exalted prerogative, when the Poritans were turned into Roundheads, or Whigs, and were clamorons for liberty. This legerdemain of partieS, this jumble of nick-names, made use ot by way of mutual re• roach, made King William describe a 'Fury to be a Jacobite and a Papist, and a Whig a Presby teeilo and an enemy to . the Church. What are the parties at this time ? Pittites and Foxites !—Church and State are the elevated ob jects of the one; !evening, equality; reforma tion, universal suffrage, annual parliaments, and the admission of Ro:nan Catholics into power, under a Protestant I These are a sort of bastard Republicans, disposed to say, when they dare to speak out, that a King may be deposed and put to death ; that the conscience of the people is their power ; that they are above their Sovereign, and may do as they 'please with him, as they are all Kings themselves ; that when the many are on one side, they are always in the right ; that they are judges of miscarriages, and have power of revocation, They distinguish the King's political front his natural character, and that though you murder him in one, you pre serve hint in the other. In short, this is making hint a puppet, and themselves his shewmen. From such a Political Society, and spelt Poli ticians, Good Lord for ever deliver MONTESQUIEU. CAUTION TO SERVANTS.-Yesterday, Elizabeth Meredith and Sarnh Fletcher were examined at Hatton-garden Office on the following charge —The former prisoner lived cook in the family of James Armitage, Esq. 5, Brunswick-square ; the servants were .dways allowed plenty of provisions; but it reaching their master and mistress's ears that they were kept rather on short allowance, suspicion fell on the cook. Her master caused her to be watched, and by that means ascertained that it was her invariable practice every night, between 9 and 10 o'clnck, to hand a 5111,111 hand basket over the area-gate to the prisoner Fletcher. Iu consequence of this discovery, Mr. Armitage employed Wm. Read, jun. to watch, ,whilst he himself stood at one of the padour-windows in which there. was no light. - A little before JO o'clock on Monday night, as the prisoner Mere dith Was in the act of handing a small basket, ac cording to her usual custom, over the area-gate to the prisoner Fletcher, the officer took the latter into custody, and on searching the basket it was found to contain a fresh hall-quartern loaf uncut, the chief part of a boiled leg of mutton, and some cold boiled potatoes. Mr. Armitage did not wisb to prosecute them criminally, but the Magistrates overruled every objection be made, and insisted on his prosecuting both, as an example to servants.----'life prisoners were .

The following arc Extracts : " PARIS, AUG. 2.—The King arrived at the Thuilleries a quarter before five o'clock, yesterday afternoon. Madame and Monsieur had previously reached the Palace. The Duchess de Berry dined at the Thuilleries with his Majesty. The two Princes returned in the evening. " The Cour Royale yesterday enregistered Let ters Patent, conferring the title of Count upon Mr. Btackpoule, an Irish Gentleman, aged 82, who has created in favour of his only son, a Ma jorate of 50,000 francs of Rente. "TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE. " AFFAIR OF LIEUT.-GP.NERAL CANUEL AND - M. M DK SENNEVILLE AND FABVIER. "At eight o'clock yesterday morning, the door of the Tribunal was besieged by an immense crowd, not more than a fourth of whom were enabled to gain admittance. " On the cause being called, M. Couture, Ad vocate fur General Cannel, addressed the Court, stating the impossibility of bringing on the cause, Lieutenant - General Cannel having been ar rested on the 23 , 1 ultimo, at six o'clock in the evening, since whit!) period ,he had been kept au secret, and no one had been allowed to communicate with him: M. Cow ure main tamed, that it was essential to the conduct of the cause, that it should not be allowed to come on unless 'the General's Advocates had the means of communicating with him, and particularly- that the General should be present during the eNatni nation of the witnesses who 'had been summoned from Lyons and other quarters. Ile concluded by requesting a postponement for a fortnight. " M. Dupin, Advocate for M. de Senneville, did not object to the' postponement, but the time proposed being inconvenient, be was for a still further delay. " M. de Couture had no objection to a further postponement. " An Advocate, hitherto unknown at the Bar of Paris, now addressed the Tribunal• It was found he was- the hum her of Colonel Fabvier ; he did not oppose the. pos►ponement. When the curtain was raised, he observed, it would be seen to which side the indignation of French Men ought to be • directed. " ill. de Marchangy, the King's Procureur, ob served, that the instruction with respect to General Cancel was actively going on, and it was more than probable that the orders for imprisoning the accused au secret would be annulled in less than a 'fortnight, " Atter some further conversation, the cause was postponed till the 7th November. " The son of the Ex-King of Sweden, GUS.. tavns, arrived on the 27th ult. at Frankfort, from Carbruhe, under the name of Count d'Herberg. FIVE PER CENTS. Saturday ..77 f. 90 c.
